This is an interesting idea held back by the visuals and editor version. The choice to use the default Classic tiles in the default sprite csets makes for a rather confusing assortment where it's very unclear what is foreground, background, or solid. In a few places it seems figuring out the solidity is part of the puzzles but other times the tileset is just working against you and making it impossible to figure out your intent. The use of 2.50, an older version, also causes some issues. The screen's scroll speed is agonizingly slow for situations where you'll frequently be scrolling back and forth between screens, and the ground collision is very spotty. At times I had to exploit Link's movement to clip into solid objects and jump through. The last example screen of The Long Haul being the prime example of this: I had to stand at the very edge of the conveyor where it would no longer push me and I could only barely stay on the platform while facing one direction, then I could only barely make the jump across sometimes when link's hitbox clippped into the pillar just right. That room was ZC jank at its worst. ZC will probably never be suited for sideview, but 2.55 has a lot of fixes and features that'd be incredibly useful. Better spike collision, sideview ladders, and jump through platforms would all help this quest to flow way better.
Also the whole thing seems to be using four way movement. Why? D:
